>Description:

Some man pages uses
	.Dd "Month day, year"
instead of
	.Dd Month day, year

In such cases man print a current date instead of the real date.

>How-To-Repeat:

man 2 setsid
See the date at the bottom of the manpage.
If you use current, or fresh installed system, it is probably today.

I found 48 broken manpages with
cd /usr/src
find . -name '*.[123456789n]' | xargs egrep "^.Dd[ \t]*\""
